Please Don't Let The Light Go Out

S

he survived a nightmare of cruelty and terrors
Struggling against cold, starvation and disease, she
was unwanted, hunted, sick and weary almost unto
death. Then your mercy—your generosity—brought
a light of hope into her miserable world. That light
must not go out:

• Thousands upon thousands of her people have
been fed, clothed, and given shelter. Countless wars
ravaged bodies have been mended. Families without
number have been reunited and returned to their
homes. Still others have been helped to find new lives
In Palestine. Many who have found haven in America

have received aid in readjusting themselves: But the
shadow of war and oppression is deep and hard
erase: The wounds are far greater than anticipated and
and
much slower to heals

• Today, because of unforeseen circumstances, the
number of Jewish displaced persons is three times as
great as a year ago: These homeless Jews of Europe
face another crisis in theif bitter struggle to survive:
Whether they live or die is sqatarely up to you I and
your conscience. Because the task of mercy is so great;
the United Jewish Appeal this year is asking for more
help than ever before—$170,000,000—a sum that can

be raised only through the utmost generosity ana
active support on the part of every American;

• In mercy's name, give all you can to the campaign
far the United Jewish Appeal in your community
Give more of your time, more of your heart, and more
of your money than you can afford. No financial offer{
ing you can make, however great, can match the suf4

ferings of those you helps

• Remember, you have given them hope: Nov; you
must not take it away. Hope is all they have: You must

not let the light of hope go outs
